Abstract

A detection device is provided including first substrate including first region, second region and third region arranged in first direction, second region arranged between first and third regions; first detection electrode arranged on first substrate; second detection electrode arranged on first substrate and being adjacent to first detection electrode; first electrode coupled to first detection electrode and continuously formed from first to third regions; second electrode coupled to second detection electrode, and continuously formed from first to third regions, convex portions located between first electrode and second electrode in second region and spaced away from first and second electrodes; and protective layer formed on first and second electrodes in first region and not formed on first electrode and second electrode in third region, wherein at least one of convex portions is covered with protective layer, and at least another one of convex portions is not covered with protective layer.

Claims (39)

1. A detection device comprising:

a substrate; and

a detection electrode including a lower layer portion and an upper layer portion which is on and in physical contact with the lower layer portion, the lower layer portion being between the substrate and the upper layer portion,

wherein the upper layer portion has a first region and a second region which are located continuously,

the first region overlaps the lower layer portion in a plan view and is in physical contact with the lower layer portion, and

the second region does not overlap the lower layer portion in a plan view and is not in physical contact with any conductive member in a thickness direction of the detection electrode.

2. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the second region is a single layer.

3. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second region is a thickness of an entirety of the detection electrode.

4. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the second region is not in physical contact with any conductive member except for the first region.

5. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the detection electrode has other regions which are not the second region, and

the second region does not overlap the other regions.

6. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second regions are covered with a protective film.

7. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the second region is located at both sides of the first region in a plan view.

8. The detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising a flexible printed circuit with a terminal,

wherein the terminal overlaps the lower layer portion and the upper layer portion in a plan view.

9. The detection device according to claim 8 , wherein the upper layer portion has a third region that is a different region from the first and second regions, and

the third region overlaps the terminal via an anisotropic conductive film.

10. The detection device according to claim 9 , wherein the first and second regions are covered with a protective film, and

the third region is not covered with the protective film.

11. A detection device comprising:

a substrate; and

a detection electrode including a lower layer portion and an upper layer portion which is on and in physical contact with the lower layer portion, the lower layer portion being between the substrate and the upper layer portion,

wherein the upper layer portion has a first region and a second region which are located continuously,

the first region overlaps the lower layer portion in a plan view and is in physical contact with the lower layer portion,

the second region protrudes from the first region, and

the detection electrode has a portion which does not have the second region, the portion being a part of the detection electrode and including an entirety of the detection electrode in the thickness direction.

12. The detection device according to claim 11 , wherein the second region is a single layer.

13. The detection device according to claim 11 , wherein a thickness of the second region is a thickness of an entirety of the detection electrode.

14. The detection device according to claim 11 , wherein the second region is not in physical contact with any conductive member except for the first region.

15. The detection device according to claim 11 , wherein the detection electrode has other regions which are not the second region, and

the second region does not overlap the other regions.

16. The detection device according to claim 11 , wherein the first and second regions are covered with a protective film.

17. The detection device according to claim 11 , wherein the second region is located at both sides of the first region in a plan view.

18. The detection device according to claim 11 , further comprising a flexible printed circuit with a terminal,

wherein the terminal overlaps the lower layer portion and the upper layer portion in a plan view.

19. The detection device according to claim 18 , wherein the upper layer portion has a third region that is a different region from the first and second regions, and

the third region overlaps the terminal via an anisotropic conductive film.

20. The detection device according to claim 19 , wherein the first and second regions are covered with a protective film, and

the third region is not covered with the protective film.
